The realization of life’s impermanence struck me profoundly in a moment filled with warmth and celebration. I understood that believing we can determine our lifelong desires is unrealistic. Instead, we should focus on the present and accept the transient nature of our desires and circumstances.
Life is unpredictable, and trying to commit to a singular path is futile. Ultimately, the most we can aim for is to make smaller, immediate choices that reflect our current needs and preferences, such as deciding what to have for lunch. This perspective encourages a lighter and more adaptable approach to life.
